LAWA Noise Management

Noise Management

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is committed to minimizing noise impacts in neighboring communities from aircraft operating at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY). Since 1959, LAWA has developed and implemented noise abatement programs, sought partnership-based solutions and worked with stakeholders in a cooperative and collaborative manner. The Noise Management Office works to provide information to the public, obtain feedback and facilitate communication with the community, airport operators, and federal entities to minimize aircraft noise. LAWA also provides funding for the mitigation of aircraft noise through the Sound Insulation Grant Program for noise-impacted communities.
